BBC launches New Directors’ Scheme

The BBC has launched a new training scheme for drama directors early in their career.

Over the next year, 12 drama directors will be mentored on one of the 4 flagship continuing dramas (Eastenders, Holby, Doctors &
Casualty); and, as part of their training, they will receive a full credit on one episode of their assigned programme. 
If the director has shown that they can meet the standards required the shows will all aim to hire directors within nine months for a full directorial commission. 
Full details for applicants can be found on the BBC
